This week, we're going back to the beginnings of everyone's favorite heroes in a half shell with the NES TMNT trilogy! Deucy and I were playing the more recent Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Splintered Fate and we figured it was a perfect time to talk about the earlier games. We start in 1989 when the turtles were at their most popular and Konami (under Ultra Games) released the first game that was notorious for many reasons. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game was a far better game and one of the best arcade conversions of the time. Deucy and I get into the development of the games and our memories of TMNT III: The Manhattan Project. This was a really great series of games to revisit, press start to continue!

Releasing August 30th: Jurassic Park for the SNES and Genesis

In episode 40, we covered the original NES trilogy of TMNT games and this week we're back covering the 16-bit games! This era of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle games is arguably the peak of all TMNT games. Turtles in Time was a sequel to the hit original arcade game and it was made even BETTER on the SNES and we cover the big differences between to the do and which one gets turned into turtle soup. We also cover Hyperstone Heist for the Genesis, which was a heavily changed port of Turtles in Time, and Deucy and I break down all three versions of Tournament Fighters. The NES, SNES, and Genesis versions are all drastically different and we breakdown each one and make the final call on the best one.

Don't forgot to follow us on Instagram for our 31 Games of Horror Horrorfest! Our next episode is the 1997 masterpiece Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, releasing on October 11th.

With EVO, the biggest fighting game tournament in the world, happening this weekend and Capcom announcing "MARVEL vs. CAPCOM Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics", it's a great time to continue our deep dive into the X-Men and Marvel universe of games. This episode is dedicated to the fighting game era of Capcom's Marvel games covering Marvel Super Heroes all the way to 2017's Marvel vs Capcom: Infinite and we even cover the X-Men: Mutant Academy and Next Dimension games that Capcom didn't develop. We had a lot of fun with each of these games and it was shocking that Deucy had never played Marvel Super Heroes until now, so please enjoy as we take you for a ride.

Earlier this week, the Game Boy celebrated it's 35th anniversary after being released on July 31st, 1989. The Game Boy and Game Boy Color would go on to sell over 118 million units and are THE reason handheld gaming has evolved the way it has today with the Switch and Steam Deck. Deucy and I thought there's no better way to celebrate the iconic and influential handheld by sharing our top 10 favorite Game Boy and Game Boy Color games. We've got the Game Boy classics like Tetris and Super Mario Land 2 but you'll definitely hear some surprises in both of our lists.

This week, Deucy and I hit the gridiron with some of the best arcade football games in history! The NFL season has just started and while sports sims hold their place among the hardcore, arcade-style sports made the experience far more accessible. We start with the Tecmo Bowl series, from its origins in the arcade in the late 80s to becoming one of the most iconic sports games ever. We've also revisited the NFL Blitz and NFL Street series to talk about their histories and how some of the games hold up decades later.
